Neverland Card Battles debut trailer is J-Poppy

by Andrew Yoon { Sep 5th 2008 at 2:30PM }

You know, we just don't have enough strategy RPGs on the PSP. With the exception of Disgaea, Final Fantasy Tactics, Wild Arms, R-Type Command, and Yggdra Union, there's certainly a dearth of games to choose from. Thankfully, Neverland Card Battles will fill in this sorely under-represented genre on PSP. Coming this fall, this very anime SRPG combines: cards AND strategy (shock!). Certainly, PSP owners will be totally unfamiliar with this innovative genre of gameplay.

And I was hyped for this game until I saw this.

Seriously .. wtf? This looks like a GBA game.
It's not even worth downloading in my opinion. =.=

Same feelings man. I went from "this looks and sounds pretty sweet" to "oh god... what have they done??".

Don't look into Yggdra Union, by the way. It actually *is* a gameboy SRPG XD

It's true that Yggdra was originally on the GBA, but it's going to be a lot better on the PSP ^^ A lot of improvements have been made to the visuals, the audio, the balance, etc. In fact, RPGamer just gave it a 5/5 =D

Ummmmm, Andrew, that was a little too sarcastic.....

Andrew Yoon @ Sep 5th 2008 3:30PM

Haha, perhaps. I just wanted to try a different style for once.

strike @ Sep 5th 2008 3:44PM

I werent tryin to be offencive =P

also, wat happened to Nick?

Sadly, these days you take what you can get on the PSP. Even so, SRPGs aren't about graphics. Look at Disgaea 3. I love card-based games so I'm gonna give it a shot. It kind of has a Culdcept vibe to it.

You forgot Jeanne d'Arc, lol! So many SRPG's, so little time.

lorddshadow @ Sep 5th 2008 5:24PM

i was gonna say that

Jacksons @ Sep 5th 2008 4:23PM

I don't understand the explosion of SRPGs lately. I really don't.

MATT @ Sep 5th 2008 4:45PM

I'm sold.

Aex @ Sep 6th 2008 2:57AM

Is this starting to bother anyone else lately? It seems there are so many titles coming out soon... except for us Americans :(

aj @ Sep 6th 2008 8:23AM

Why are there so many SRPG's out now? The DS is flooded with the things as well. I never thought that it was that popular of a genre to begin with, and we're knee deep in 'em!

aj @ Sep 6th 2008 8:24AM

....That's not to say I don't like the odd SRPG, but one tends to hold me over for quite a while. Yggdra Union will probably be my only SRPG purchase for about a year, year and a half. They're like board games. You need to take time, really work with them, appreciate them.

Game makes poop look good.

strike @ Sep 6th 2008 3:14PM

Hey, give the game a chance guys. These graphics are no worse than final fantasy tactics, which is a great game. I'm sure if this game was called final fantasy card battles, you guys would take more interest.

Bryan @ Sep 6th 2008 5:47PM

i know you guys were saying battery life suck but at low backlight setting iv been playing for almost 3 hours straight and still have full battery. does it depend on the type of game? also does anyone know where i can get just the top for my battery cover for a larger battery? its an 1800mah size

strike @ Sep 6th 2008 6:29PM

I think the longer youve used your psp, the less battery you get out of it

I'm starting to miss some good ol' classic harpie gee goodness. SRPGs are good and all, but there's too much of 'em lately. And Mana Khemia, my salvation, totally dissapeared from the map! =(

Oh, BTW. This game looked good... up to the battle scene. What was that, dood? Fugly.

Christopher @ Sep 6th 2008 10:11PM

This looks...

cute?

cafecito @ Sep 7th 2008 7:38PM

Gotta admit the battle scene graphics look crappy. But we've only seen a little of the game in action, so I won't make any judgments based solely on that.

BTW, yeah guys. What's with this flood of SRPGs? I like the genre and all but, I'm missing some good ol regular RPG goodness. Mana Khemia was my salvation, but it dissappeared from the map T_T
